[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] [QUOTE]Ancient egypt had dark blacks but by all means the majority were a medium shade of brown and not all were what youd call negro, according to ancient archeological findings many looked white also [/QUOTE] Most ancient Egyptians look like people in Luxor to Aswan who are quite dark brown. [QUOTE]South of Cairo (like in Minya or Luxor) most of the people are usually browner skinned but are of the same racial stock as the ones from Cairo. It's just that they received more African admixture from the south (from Sudan) and less foreign admixture from the Middle East and Europe[/QUOTE] Wrong,there has been negriod admixture in this area since pre-dyanstic times. The admixture is not recent but from pre-dyanstic times. People in Luxor look nothing like people from Minya or Cairo unless you compaire areas like Boulaq Abu Ella. [QUOTE]Ancient Egypt was a mixed culture, the nubians were the dark skinned blacks of ancient Egypt, they looked similar to former president of egypt Anwar Sadat who had sudanese background. Its obvious by some of the hyroglyphics and statues not all egyptians in ancient times were obvious negroids, they looked more brown not black, and not all had negroid features.[/QUOTE] The Nubians were not the only black people in ancient Egyptian soceity. Negriod types have existed in Upper Egypt and continue to exist that are non-Nubian people. Most of the pharoahs came from Upper Egypt in the area of southern Upper Egypt. Most of the population in antiquity lived in the areas of Luxor-Aswan. [/QB][/QUOTE]
